The Art of Becoming Wealthy

Have you ever wondered why this is so? A typical case,shared often at seminars, is that of a person who hasconstant challenges with money but disapproves ofaccumulating wealth, implying that it is dirty and that itspoils and changes people.

Further, this person is uncomfortable with people inbusiness who have more money and yet he or she can'tsucceed. What should such a person do? Clearly this personis carrying around a mental image that says: "If you havemuch money, you'll be ruined by it and you don't want that.So, it is better to remain poor than seek wealth." Theconsequence of such thinking is, not surprisingly, a lackof money.

Get rid of these thoughts if you want to be wealthysomeday. The Law of Income says that wealth is firstcreated in the mind. A Wealthy Self-Image People who can'timagine themselves wealthy are not yet mature enough tobecome wealthy.

Everything begins in the mind as a thought - life is a gamethat is directed from between your ears. If you can't "see"yourself with money, then your subconscious still doesn'thave a clear picture of how to act and therefore cannothelp you get there.

In fact, whatever picture you hold of yourself in yoursubconscious mind is the person your mind is busy ensuringyou are. If your self-image is one of a poor person orsomeone "struggling to get ahead," then that is who youwill be. Make sure you create and nurse positive picturesof yourself.

Why You Are Not Wealthy Today? There are two reasons thatyou don't have as much money today as you desire:

1. You didn't think about or plan for today before itarrived. Had you been more aware, then, that you wouldalways need money and acted on that awareness in the past,you would be wealthier today than you are right now. Why?Because, you would have intentionally saved money, perhapseven by making small sacrifices over the years or investedmoney. Even small amounts, and would therefore have moremoney today than you currently have.

Make a list of your expenses for one month; you'll quicklydiscover how many unnecessary things you buy and how muchyou could therefore set-aside for tomorrow. If you want tofree yourself from financial troubles, then start putting aportion of your money into a special account.

2. The work you have now isn't bringing in enough money.There are many ways to increase, even maximize, thefinancial and non-monetary rewards you earn from your job.Ridding Your Path of Obstacles The unfavorable financialsituation you are in usually comes from a very specificchallenge.

Those who do not have money have usually been taught tobelieve that money is dirty or that it can't be earned inan honest way. So how will you find your fortune, if yoursubconscious is being fed with things like, "All richpeople are dishonest and I don't want to be like that."?What follows is clear, perhaps you believe that moneychanges, even spoils people.

If you hold this to be true, wealth will elude you. Youhave to be clear about the following fact: "Money itselfdoesn't mean anything - it's just a piece of paper, a toolthat can be used to trade for material goods." Money is a"stand-in" for the things you want to buy. Does this meanthat all the things you buy are bad and rotten? If that'strue, why do people desire new cars? Imagine your job paysyou "in cars" instead of money - would you say now thatcars are bad and rotten?
